Going to attempt my Stradic tonight, will let you know how it goes.

 

go to Shimano's site and printout the "exploded" view with parts list first.

That's a great post. You will get a lot of life out of a reel if you maintain them like that. One thing I find handy is using my air compressor with a blowing attachment. It makes stripping the old crud out of the gears and bearings easy. Just make sure there isn't any small parts that can go flying. Hold a cloth or paper towel around the part your blasting. I use liquid wrench for stripping the crap off. Works good. Mike's Reel Repair is the source for most schematics if you happen to loose the one for your reel.

Yep, Ive done it as well. Takes some time out of your day and eases the mind a little.

 

I prefer doing my pin though.

 

Open, three screws, POP, degrease, POP, sewing maching oil, three screws, close.

 

Total time, 3 minutes lol
